The Conditions of the Dead in the Graves
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A questioner says: It is said that the dead in their graves visit one another, and that some of them see others, or hear others. Is this true? We hope you will give us a simple explanation of what happens in the grave on a daily basis.
Answer:
Right now, we do not know the conditions of the living; we do not know the conditions of the living or what happens between them, so how can we know the conditions of the dead in the graves? This is known only by Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). The matters of the graves are among the matters of the unseen, which no one knows except Allah. We do not say anything except based on evidence. We affirm what has come in the authentic evidence regarding the conditions of the dead, and what has not come is part of the knowledge of the unseen, which no one knows except Allah.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh,
